The biggest climatic difference between Cauca and other regions is the relatively large temperature variation. The average daily temperature is 11°C, while the average daytime temperature is 18°C. The day-night temperature difference is a crucial factor in producing high-quality coffee. The lower nighttime temperatures and relatively higher altitude slow down the growth rhythm of coffee, allowing coffee seeds and beans to more fully absorb nutrients from the coffee fruit. This also creates better acidity and the notably sweet flavor that Cauca coffee is renowned for.

Pour-over Colombian coffee. 15g of grounds, medium grind (Fujimazu oni-tooth blade setting 4), V60 dripper, water temperature 88-89°C. First pour with 30g water for a 27-second bloom.

Following Colombia's excellent traditions, Cauca coffee is hand-picked and washed. Additionally, while many coffee-producing regions have been updating ancient coffee varieties to new ones in pursuit of better disease resistance and higher yields, the Cauca region notably retains predominantly Caturra varieties, along with ancient Typica and Bourbon varieties.

The main flavor characteristics of Cauca coffee prominently manifest in wonderful acidity and elegant sweetness, combined with Colombia's typically mild mouthfeel, making coffee from this region highly sought after by numerous buyers. High-quality Cauca coffee typically exhibits rich floral notes, higher acidity, pleasant sweetness, medium body, and is clean, gentle, and well-balanced.
